Because you used precycled sand and rock you are not seeing a strong cycle. I suggest you use a raw grocery store shrimp to cycle your tank. Just put the shrimp in the tank for 2-3 days then remove it. The ammonia from it will start a strong cycle for you.

Also, increase your salinity up to 1.026 (35 ppt).
